The Perth branch of the AEVA will be hosting this years AGM on the weekend of the 3rd of October. The mayor of Fremantle has allowed us to use the town hall for the conference day, national council meeting, AGM and the EV Festival the following day.

We would really like to have as many members from over east come to visit, and perhaps make a holiday of it. The RAC Electric Highway is on track to be installed by then too.

I'm making enquiries about getting a couple of rail carriages lined up in Sydney and/or Adelaide so members who would like to bring their EVs can get them over and back at the lowest cost possible.

If you would like to be a part of this, let me know so I can start to shore up numbers. If the transport can be had for $1000 return, I think we'll have done well.

Indian Pacific is an epic rip-off. I can cross Canada with Via Rail and have a twin cabin the whole way for just over $2000.

Great to hear you're keen to come over - I really hope we can a) get some good prices and b) get dozens of folks making the effort! The RAC Electric Highway will be up and running by then, so if you ever wanted to do an EV road trip to the wine regions, start saving your coins!

I hope to get some prices this week from Ceva car carriers - they routinely move cars by rail. They are going to determine prices from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
